1. A system comprising:

  • a rigid body with a first edge and a second edge, the first edge being parallel to the second edge;

    at least one force sensor;

    an analyzer arranged to determine a resultant force applied to the rigid body based on outputs from the at least one force sensor; and

    a mapping module arranged to map the resultant force to a user input to the system, the resultant force comprising;

    a first rotational force applied to the first edge of the rigid body; and

    a second rotational force applied to the second edge of the rigid body, the first rotational force and the second rotational force being applied in opposite directions along a latitudinal axis of the rigid body that is perpendicular to the first edge and the second edge.
